Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 26

She licked her lips helplessly, attempting to divert her attention. “Would you like some water? I‘ll pour you a cup.”

Looking at her pink lips, he felt that he could not control his body again.

Hence, he avoided her gaze right away. “No, thanks.”

Just as they were feeling awkward, someone knocked on the door.

“President Luke, the doctor is here,” Larry said.

“Alright. Come in.”

Upon hearing that the doctor was here, Vania immediately sat properly on the sofa, and Hanson naturally sat beside her.

The doctor then entered.

He respectfully stood in front of Hanson and said, “President Luke, I‘m Dr. Alan from Eastland‘s Center Hospital.”

To that, Hanson simply furrowed his brows and remained silent, so the doctor couldn‘t tell what was on his mind.

Seeing that, Alan could only turn to face Vania and said politely, “Hello, Ms. Greyson.”

She replied to him politely too. “Hello, Dr. Alan.”

Alan was meeting the legendary President Luke for the first time. The hospital he was at was under the Luke Corporation. When he was summoned unexpectedly, his heart was filled with curiosity.

His mind started generating hypotheses after seeing Vania’s beauty, especially since she was now in the same room as Hanson and dressed in Hanson‘s clothes.

The moment he met her gaze, he immediately lowered his head, not wanting to meet her eyes directly. He then nervously asked, “Could I examine you now, Ms. Greyson?“:

“You can.” She nodded.

Just as she was about to stand up, Hanson opened his mouth, displeased. “Wait. Is there no female doctor in the hospital?”

The thought of this man examining her body enraged him.

Her injuries were all external, and a checkup on them would necessitate a physical examination. How could this be done by a male doctor?

Though there were no gender differences in a doctor‘s eyes, he could not allow it. He had not even seen her body himself!

He had completely forgotten that Vania was not his woman.

Alan was just about to take a step forward, but after what Hanson said, he had no idea whether he should do so. Despite his inability to comprehend the situation, he explained, “The dean sent me here as it is now late night, President Luke.”

Hanson sneered at that. “Your dean intends to lose his job, huh? He couldn‘t even complete such a small task. Send a female doctor now.”

Alan had no idea why Hanson became angry suddenly, so he could only nod his head repeatedly. “I‘ll call him now.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“There‘s no need for that.” Hanson, however, waved his hand to Alan and said to Larry, who was standing by the door, “Ask him if he still wants to be the dean of the hospital. If he doesn‘t, I can replace him immediately.”

“I‘ll get to that now, President Luke.”

Larry had clearly overheard the conversation in the room earlier. He couldn‘t help but mumble in his heart, as if he had discovered some big secret, President Luke does treat Ms. Greyson differently.

Alan could only stand in the room, shivering. He was nervous, but that didn‘t stop him from doubting why Hanson insisted on a female doctor.

.

At the same time, Vania stared dazedly at Hanson as well. She, too, did not understand why he lost his cool suddenly, and tried to persuade him, “It is late now; don‘t cause trouble to the doctors–”

.

But before she could finish her sentence, she was met with his icy stare.

That made her shut her mouth right away.

It was only after she shut her mouth that she started to doubt herself. Why did I obediently listen to him? How strange.
